Orange You Glad It Is Summer!

It is officially the first day of summer and we couldn’t be happier after a long, cold winter.  The sunscreen and shorts have been in good use for several weeks now and it is time to entertain and party.

Orange might be the new Black but it is also one of our favorite colors to use when we are entertaining  for summer. It is known as a power color and also is noted to be representative of vitality and endurance. Orange is also one of the healing colors and is said to increase the craving for food.

We put together a few of our favorite things to share with you that are both orange and make any party from a family dinner to a big summer barbecue fun!

Lantern Candles

 

 

This lantern with its pop of orange would compliment any summer outdoor dinner party. You can either line them up on your table or hang them from your nearest tree or fencing. Each lantern comes complete with a 6 oz. glass candle filled with botanically-inspired fragrance.  $25 at paddywax.com.

 

 

 

Orange Placemat

 

 

Make your table shine with these fun, colorful Orange Placemats covered in sliced oranges.They are available at Bed Bath and Beyond and are on sale for only $1.99 right now.

 

 

 

 

3 Piece Dip Bowl

 

 

Serve your appetizers and dips in style with this Melamine 3 Piece Dip Bowl and Platter in Mandarin from Target. This set includes a Serving Tray and 3 appetizer bowls and is dishwasher safe and retails for $11.99.

 

 

tray

 

Hot dishes or dripping glasses will stay securely in place with this Half Gallery No-Slip Serving Tray in Orange from Zak.com for $19.99.

 

 

 

Those are just a few ideas to help you entertain this summer with a little burst of orange. You can compliment these with the right color of green tablecloth or plates and have a festive party!

What is your favorite color scheme for summer entertainment?

    Oh my! I love that dip set from Target but my kitchen is red. I wonder if it’s available in red. It’s the first thing I’m going to look for as soon as I get out of the hospital and go to Target. 🙂

    Orange is such a fun, vibrant color! I tend to go with teal and olive green — modern with a hint of vintage. 🙂

    I for one can tell you I am very happy summer is here. We haven’t had a lot of warm yet, but hopefully it is on the way. Those dipping bowls would be great out on my back porch for one of our parties.

    I guess I’ve never really thought about it and don’t have a favorite color scheme for summer. Orange is a good color though, it’s festive and bright, and I like it. 🙂
